The 1776142-3 terminal block is a popular item within the category of terminal blocks, headers, plugs and sockets. It is used to transmit power or data signals between wires or electronic components, and can be found in various industries such as factory automation, telecom, computer, automation, and security systems. It is a two-position, two-pole pluggable terminal block, with 4mm pitch and 6-24AWG range. It is characterized by its push-in connection for terminations, and the user has the option to simply push wire insulation into the spring clamp connection. It also has screw collar connection for wires which are suitable for solid or stranded 0.25-1.5mm² conductors. The contact surfaces are plated with golden tin finish, making it corrosion resistant.

Application Field

The 1776142-3 terminal block provides quick and secure connections suitable for many applications such as power transmission, control, and data signals. It is particularly suitable for indoor applications, outdoor applications, in the commercial sector, and in short-term applications in damp environments. It is also effective in harsh environments with heavy mechanical loads.

Working Principle

The 1776142-3 terminal block consists of two contacts which are designed to accept and clamp wires and electronic components for power or signal transmission purposes. The conductor is placed in the terminal block’s connection slots and clamped by a spring-loaded contact. This contact provides a secure connection by exerting proper clamping force and electricity to the conductor. The contacts are then secured by a screw collar that locks the conductor in place, completing the connection. This terminal block features a reliable connection and easy installation due to the push-in connection system.
